I know Notepad++ supports Python but under the language menu I cannot find it! At "P," it only lists Pascal, Perl, PHP, Postscript, PowerShell, and strangely, Properties. I am writing some Python scripts and I want the syntax to be highlighted. How can I activate Python highlighting?

In case it still doesn't work for you, kib2.free.fr/PyK is a free and very good python IDE.Pinch– Pinch2013-02-20 05:29:39 +00:00Commented Feb 20, 2013 at 5:29

I had another problem somewhat similar: It shows Python in the P tab but it won't show any Syntax highlighting. --> Try another Design. In my design it had all the same colours, strangely. When I switched the design, everything worked.The City of Leibern-Ikhth– The City of Leibern-Ikhth2019-03-01 22:43:05 +00:00Commented Mar 1, 2019 at 22:43

Maybe it's disabled. Check in Preferences | Language Menu/Tab Settings if it's not among the disabled items.

Weird. I have Notepad++ v6.3 on this PC and it is there:

Try to uninstall and reinstall Notepad++. Be sure to get the latest version from SourceForge -

Please make sure it is not disabled. I happens to me too.
To check go to preferences, click on language items in the left and make sure that python is not in disabled languages. Reboot notepad++ after applying changes.

On mine, notepad++ v7.5.8, Python is not in the P section but it is in the bottom of languages menu.
This is the default arrangement for my version of notepad++ so all bets are off if you changed it under settings.

Yes, python is at the bottom of language list (not under P item - I believe it was moved out of P after I played with Settings) .
